...Respect & Death. Even by Middle East standards, the campaign was rough. In the capital city of Beirut, ten people were wounded by a bomb. In Akkar, Mohammed's convoy was ambushed, and two men were shot. In alarm, President Camille Chamoun summoned the north Lebanon candidates to his mansion, to warn them that such violence must not take place on election...
...mass Freedomite arrest is the biggest roundup in a single day in British Columbia since 1932, when the Sons staged a similar protest against the school law. At that time, those convicted got 2½-year prison sentences. The punishment did not increase the Sons' respect for the law.

Granting that cortisone is not the "fountain of life" that many sufferers hoped that it would be, Hench inveighed against too much timidity in the use of the drug, which he said had raised "as many false fears as false hopes." In four years' use at the Mayo Clinic, he said, cortisone has proved effective in more than 50% of the thousands of patients receiving it. Moreover, experience...
